F 1g. l() is a'side elevation of 'a eupfoi.` the the means', shown in Fig. 9, for connecting.

flange or loot C which islseoured by bolts to` bottom' an out-let opening Bwhieh perrinits v the passage of waste Water from theiinte,

der c formed on the base or footof the cup. Above the base E is the bottom, F, of the cup proper and abovethis bottom F is a rose F which may be constructed in a number of different ways and which constitutes, at one and the same time, the top of the inlet chamber G and the bottom of the bubbling chamber G2. The base'of the cup is hollow providing a chamber, G, and open at bottom so as to4 be constantly in open communication with the outlet opening B of the basin, and the walls of the hollow base are provided with lateral openings g through which the lower part or bottom of the basin and the water chamber G communicate.4 The openings, g, preferably extend from a sufficient height downward quite to the upper surface of the bottom of the basin, so that there will be no shoulder that might obstructor prevent the complete draining of the basin or hinder the passage of solid substances.

The perforations f of the rose F' may be arranged with their axes in suitable or any desired positions relative to the vertical axis of the cup, excepting that the central perforation or jet opening z' is concentric with said axis. Preferably, the inner surface of the upper portions of the wall of the bubbling chamber are undercut so that where the undercut occurs said chamber tapers upwardly and inwardly as shown in Figs. 1, 5, 7 and 9 and they may follow either straight or curved lines. Again, the taper may extend quite from top to bottom of the bubbling chamber as shown in' Figs. 1 and 9, or it may terminateabove the bottom of said chamber and below the level of its termination the inner surface of the chamber may gradually contract or taper downward, as shown in Figs. 5 and 7. Again, the

inner surface of the walls of the bubbling fications.

chamber may flare upwardly and outwardly from bottom to top, as shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 6.

It has already been stated that the axes of the perforations f of the rose may be arranged in any manner desired or necessary to produce given results.' Thus, the outer row br'seriesmay be located at or irnmediately adjacent to the inner surface of the bubbling chamber. They are always at the bottom of the chamber, so that the streams of water issuing from them impinge against and constantly wash and keep clean the side-Walls and bottom of the chamber as shownin all of the several modimay be arranged with theirl axes parallel with or in the general direction of the inner surface of the sides of the chamber, so that. the streams issuing from them will constantly sweep said surface, as shown 1n Figs. 1, 3,A 4, 5 and 6`or they may be ar-I ranged with their axes at a greater or less Again, the outer row or series single centrally located opening resulting in upwardly presented shoulders and this opening may flare upwardly, resulting in an inclined shoulder, as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, or it may be cylindrical, resulting in a flat", horizontal shoulder, as shown in Figs. 5, 6, 9 and l1.

Thelupwardly presented shoulder, in each instance, affords a bearing for a d ownwardly presented shoulder on a part which is carried bythe water supply pipe, (as, the flaring sleeve z. of Fi 1, 3 and 4, or the tubular stem I of Fig. 5, or the sleeve I2 of Fig. 6) so that when said part is drawn down, the water supply pipe being held against upward movement,the cup will be held down on its seat on the basin.

The upwardly presented shoulder, in each instance, forms a bearing for a nut or other part adjustably carried by the water supply pipe, so that when said nut is forced into contact with downwardly presented shoulder a water tight joint will be formed between the water supply pipe and cup. A packing, as J, may beinterposed between any two opposing shoulders.

I is a part herein called a. nozzle which may be formed integrally with the perforated web or diaphragm F', as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, or separately therefrom as shown in Figs. 1, 5 and 9. In any event it is a part of the rose, and must be so considered as used in this specification, and it is given .a distinguishing name'simply because of its distinguishing characteristics; It has a central jet opening i communicating with the waterway which, at the point of communication, is considerably larger than said jet opening, resulting in what may be called an enlarged chamber, so that a stream of water passing through the nozzle will choked by the restricted jet opening and the stream as deliveredY by the nozzle will`be of high velocity and will pass upward through and above the overflow rim of the bubbling chamber, whereby the surface of the water in the bubbling chamber will be caused to well up at the center.

The bubbling chamber or that chamber of the cu i which may be drunk from is open at top and surrounded by an over-flow rim over which the Watermay flow slowly and fall down into the basin, the over-flow rim being ofsuliicient diameter at' its highest point to admit the lips and expose a sutiicient superficial area of the water in the chamber to permit a person to drink directly from said chamber, if desired, or from the column which is thrown upward above the level oi? the over-iow rim by a. stream mening from olie )et opening, z'.

The terni i over-low l'rn es herein need is intended to comprehend u feature over which a comparatively small body of water ie spread ont and owe downward, hugging the rim hy the fome of gravity and does nely compi `d the weile of a inereopening or perfoi'oion throigh which e eoniparatively large body of water is forced, v indervpresu sure, so theii; does nei= hug the rim hul". innnediately escapes :from it..

The term waterway as herein used is intended to include all chuxniiers or pessages, of whatever description, through which the water posses on its way from the water supply pipe'to the bubbling chamber.

As shown in Figs. l, 5, 9 and l1. the non zle has a tubular stem I and the lower end of this stein 'oomrnunioetes with the weer way either directly (Figs. 5, 9 and 1i.) or in oireetly ig. As shown in igs. 'l und 2 the lower vend of the tubular lStem is screwed to a spider L which is fast in the upper end of the flaring sleeve h, which in urn ie Screwed to the upper end of the upper Section if. of the weter-suliply pipe. As )wn in Figs. 9 and 11 it is screwed d'1' oily to the. wetensupply pipe and The inlet chamber G' is supnlied through lateral paris or openings i ormed through the Sides of the pipe. l'n all. insianoes the lower end of i'he tubular stem is open for the reception oi? supply water. i I

In' the form of the invention shown in lfige. 3 yand si, therese differs 4from those just described 'in that the raised nozzle is integral with the weh F and has now no iubular Stem extending downward ksind comn munich-*Ling with the water-Supply pipe.

'Neiki'thelees the nozzle has an internal chamber which forms an enlargement 'of the waterway and the jet opening is restriced :is compared therewith. In the form shown in u single port`l1as'tl1e featuresrof both the rose and the nozzle.` y

In the form shown in Fig. 7 Athe rose con- .Qislsj wholly of the perforated web or die plimgni l", which is integral with the Cup, und l ie no jet opening or nozzle. The part I takes the form of a screw holt which passes through n central opening of the rose so that its head bears downward thereon,

'while iis lower end is sere-wed into a spider L carried by :i short tube or sleeve lz, 'the upper end of which communicates ywith 1ihe inlet chamber G', while :its lowei` end 4is in direet eounnunieetion with the interior of the next lower .seoiion L of the water-Supply pipe, lo which it is screwed. The Sleeve )i has an eXteI'nnl shoulder F' wnieh'hears upward against the downwardly presented shoulder provided by the 'opening' through the boli-om, F of the oop, so that by tightening the Screw I' heA wei-supply pipe 'and of which rises o low wall B3.

This .,-rnneh pnseee hoi'izontally through ihe eie viii-iii of the iitting D and has threaded engagement. herewith und. a jam nui; h* is tui-nod on to ite projecting portion and ino firm eontae with the Side oi the iting D, whereby the vertical portion. of the Watereupply pipe ie nminloined in central position reialively ibo the hollow pedestal and prevented from moving upward. The section of pipe isf", which forme e. continuation of ihe lateral entire branch h, of the wetensupply pipe, niej; he provided with e. valve K', ofl the selfoloeing or any other desired Wye, which must oe manually opened in order to permit the iow of wider to the cup. Y

ln the forni oi' zhe invention shown in Fig. fi the @up is constructed und eonneeted with the we r--supply pipe subsiantiaiiy es Shown in Fi il and 2 excepting thi-u; lie lower chamber G", which corresponds in pd sition willi the ehai'nher G of Figs. and 3 does; not eonnnuiiieete with the basin, the walls of this chamber being solid and without any openings through whichihe wager could pase from the basin to the interior of the chamber GX, and thence through an outlet opening; formed throughthe bottoni of the basin. in all ceses, however, 1he .chamber in the baise, of heoup eont-eineand conceals the pipe connections. ln Fig. 4' the basin ie preferably of rectangular shape and has a iailioitoin B2, from the margin Any `Sui ihle means for supporting the haein may he used. This basin is large enough. to receive and accommodate :my desired number of oups. In this und in 'all other enses' the @up ex tends above the level ofjthe topo so thaty the overflow `rinfi is neces ble.J The Water overflowing ther rim of the-Cun falls into he basin from which it esc-apes through an outlet opening B4. which extends ghrongh `ehe hottoinof the basin and eon'muinifreies with a Weste-pipe N., this waste {ipe 'oeing imp N. The N has threaded engagernenll with afeollar Q having @flange g' adopted to'her againstvthe lower Side of Athe bottom of the basin, e. rubber pecking.

The water-supply pipe H may pass straight downward to the floor, or its vertical branch may be comparatively short so that the lateral branch will be at a level only slightly below the bottom of the basin, whence it may extend. to or through a wall or partition. In this form of the invention a jam nut J, which is threaded onto a section of the water-supply pipe, bears against the bottom B2 of the basin, through the -medium of an elastic packing ring and serves Ato hold the water-supply pipe against upward movement and thereby hold the cup in place. ,l

In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 6, in order to secure the cup in place in the basin and connect the inlet. compartment G with the water-supply pipe an internally threaded sleeve I2 (which corresponds with the sleeve h) is passed through the opening of the web F and into this sleeve is screwed the upper end of the upper member of section L' of the water-supply pipe, the upper end of the sleeve I2 beingA provided with a radialv flange or enlarged head which provides a downwardly pre sented shoulder which bears upon theshoulder of the cup resulting from the opening through it-s bottom.

Some features vof the invention herein shown and described, but not claimed, and relating more particularly to the construction of the drinking cup and the means for connecting it with its support, are made the subject of some of the claims in my co-pend ing application which was filed January 5, 1912, under Serial No. 669,587.
